WALTER M. ELLETT AND ROLLO M. VICK, OF ALLIANCE, OHIO. OREblT-CABINET.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that we, WALTER 'M. ELLETT.

and RoLLo M. VICK, citizens of the United States, residing at Alliance, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, have jointly invented certain new and useful Improvements in Credit-Cabinets and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the numerals of reference marked thereon, in which Figure 1 is a vertical section taken on a line from front to rear of the cabinet proper. Fig. 2 is a front elevation. Fig. 3 is a view of the sliding credit-slip-holding plate and its support and guide. Fig. 4 is a section taken on line 4 4, Fig. 3.

The present invention has relation to creditcabinets; and it consists in the novel arran ement hereinafter described, and particu arly pointed out in the claim.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawsired, grooves may be formed in the back in s.

n the accompanying drawings, 1 represents the case, which may be of any desired size, reference being had to the size of the cabinet designed to be constructed. To the upright members 2 of the case '1 are attached what we term supportin -plates 3, which plates may be of the form s own or they may be of different form, as their only object and purpose is to provide a support for the sliding creditslip-holding plates and guides for said plates. For the purpose of reducing the frictional contact of the credit-slip -holding plates as they are moved back and forth the plates 3 are provided with the ribs 4-, and upon which ribs the credit-slip plates 5 rest. The credit-slip plates 5 are formed somewhat narrower than the plates 3 and are so formed for the purpose of allowing the plates to be moved in and out without frictional contact against the inner faces of the upright members 2. The object and purpose of providing the plates 3 somewhat wider than the plates 5 is to provide means for seating the edges of the plates 3 into suitable grooves formed in the upright members 2, and, if demember 6 of the case 1 for the purpose of properly supporting the rear ends of the plates 3. For the purpose of forming guides for the plates 5 the plates 3 are provided with the elongated slots 7, through which Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed March 13, 1 905. Serial No. 249,748-

' Patented Feb. 19, 1907.

elongated slots the rivets or their equivalents 8 are passed, which rivets are securely attached to the credit-slip plates 5 and of course moved back and forth in the slots 7 cave surface located uppermost and the cor- 'rugation 9 belng its conveXed surface located upon the upper face or side of the plate 3.

The credit-slip-holding plates are provided with the downward-extended curved portion or grooved portion 11, said groove being located in such a position that when the plates 5 are brought into their normal position the down-curved portion 11 will come directly above the grooved or corrugated portion 10, by which arrangement the under side of the groove 11 will be located in the groove 10 sufiiciently to revent any accidental displacement of t e plates 5 by reason of the curved portion of the groove 1 1 being located back of the corrugated portion 9. When it is desired to withdraw a credit-slip plate, its

forward edge is sprung upward by means of lift-and-pull tang 12, thereby allowing the downward-extended portion 11, or, in other words, the rib, to pass over the corrugation 9, after which the slip is free to be moved or pulled outward and to be again placed in its normal position and held against displacement, as above described. The elongated slots 7 are formed of such a length that they will stop the butward movement of the creditslip plates 5 by means of the rivets 8 coming in contact with the outer ends of the slot 7.

For the purpose of causing the credit-slips to move forward with the movement of the plates 5 the upward-extended tangs 13 are provided, which may be formed integral with the plates 5 or they may be made separate and attached to said plates in any. convenlent and wellknown manner. For the purpose of providing a means for the proper 4 eeping of accounts the forward edges of the plates 5 are each provided with the upwardextending flange 14 and are properly flanged to hold the tablets 15. For the purpose of convenience in removing the credit-slips we prefer to cut or form the recesses 16 in the forward edges of the plates 5, which recesses are located or formed in the plates at oneend of the tablet-holdingfianges 14, asbest illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3.

Having fully described our in venticmwhat- We claim as new, and desire to secure by Lett-ers Patent, is-

In a credit-cabinet, the combination ofa fixed plates provided with corrugacasing,

tions upon their forward edges, and movable [0 plates located upon the fixed plates and o vided with a'grooved orcorrugated por ion upon their-forward edges, said corrugated portion adapted to be seated in one of the i corru ations in the fixed plates, substa ntially as an for the pin ose specified.

In testimony t at We claim the above We have hereunto subscribed oui names in the ipresence of two Witnesses.
